Simply Woven Quilt-along

I worked very hard to keep up with the quiltalong, but I get ambitious in fits and starts, and like to finish things... so here is my Simply Woven top, all pieced:

I had to hang it sideways on my design wall because it wouldn't fit up and down... it's too big. I haven't decided what to do with it yet... maybe I'll donate it to a local charity - they might cut it in half or even quarters and make baby quilts out of it - or keep it for when/if they need a twin quilt for something. I think I will let them do the quilting though. I don't want to pay a longarmer for something that I'm not going to use or gift myself.

Petty? cheap? maybe both, I don't know... but that's how I feel. I know some child or children will love cuddling under it no matter who quilts it.

Anyway - I'm off to work on my animals quilt - first borders are cut and ready for sewing... the outer borders are all appliqued and will take a lot of work to finish, so I'm not rushing the process. I've been working on the quilt for a year now, a few more weeks or months won't make a difference and I have no deadline for its completion.
